If you prioritize exceptional color contrast and are engaged in HDR gaming and media consumption, the AOC monitor, despite its higher price, could enhance your experience with its superior contrast and brightness. However, if budget is a concern and your focus is more on competitive gaming without the need for top-tier HDR quality, the Innocn offers a very good balance of features for its price, with a solid performance in gaming due to its good refresh rate and response time, but it won't match the AOC in terms of overall image quality and HDR performance.
